Homeopathic veterinary medicine
Dullness; loss of spirits; disinclination to move, and painful stiffness
of the back or joints when moving; loss of appetite; pain in the back,
manifested by the animal flinching when pressed upon; the joints, one or
more, become affected, and the animal prefers to lie down, and cannot
move without great pain and difficulty; the joints, or one or more of
them, become swelled, and are also exceedingly hot and tender to the
touch. In some cases, there is considerable heat and fever, in others,
it is but slight. The complaint is quite liable to return from exposure,
changes of weather, or even the wind blowing from a different quarter.
The disease not unfrequently changes from one joint or limb to another.
TREATMENT.—The B.B., is for all the usual forms of this disease, giving
twenty drops, three or four times per day, in severe cases, and morning
and night in the mild ones.
When the disease is ushered in or attended with considerable heat and
fever, either during its continuance, or from the first, the A.A., in
doses of twenty drops, should be alternated with the B.B., at the
intervals mentioned above.
Lumbago
This is merely a form of rheumatism, locating itself upon the muscles of
the loins. It may be mistaken for some other or different disease, and
hence its symptoms should be known.
SYMPTOMS.—After some exposure, especially to cold or wet, or a draft of
air, the cow will suddenly become lame in one leg, without other signs
to explain the nature of the attack. Another leg may then be affected,
while the first one seems better or quite well. Some pain and heat may
be discovered in one of the joints; and then the muscles of the back
show more clearly the location of the disease; or from the first the
disease may be referable to this point; the animal yields and flinches
when they are pressed upon, in consequence of the pain; the beast is not
able to walk, or does so very stiffly and awkwardly, in consequence of
increased pain from movement. These attacks may continue for a time,
disappear and return again, in consequence of new exposure.
TREATMENT.—The B.B. should be given, a dose of twenty drops, three times
per day, which follow with J.K.
Ophthalmia, Inflammation of the Eye
Diseased and inflamed eyes in cattle may sometimes occur as a result of
congestion, or from inflammation or a cold, but in general from an
injury, the result of a blow of a whip, or stick, or from dirt or hay
seed, or some similar substance irritating the eye.
SYMPTOMS.—The eyelids are swelled and closed; tears flow in abundance;
the eye shrinks from the light when the lids are opened; the white of
the eye or conjunctiva is reddish or covered with red veins; the haw is
also red and swollen; the eye itself is clouded and covered with a film.
